Thks for your reply. Yes, the server names would be listed down in text file. Pls advise how I can amend the script to extract updates only installed for that month alone. I would thereafter have to do a compliance check for the updates being approved for that month against the patches being installed for that month. Any advice would be appreciated. Thks

Attempted to run the script but the hostname does not get displayed. We only get colums Description, Hotfix ID and Date. Pls advise as we would need the list of servers in computers.txt to be categorized according to hostname at least in the output file. Thanks so much. How do i tweak the script to display the updates for previous month, Ex (Mar 2013). Appreciate your help as im very weak at scripting !!
